I will summarise by saying that our campus placements and infrastructure are very good.

Infrastructure: IIT Roorkee campus is very well maintained and has a very good environment among all Indian colleges. I prefer students to study hard and get admission in this college. This college is famous for the most beautiful building which is the James Thomson Building which is of white colour and was established in 1875.

Pros and cons to consider before taking admission in this college and choosing it.

Infrastructure: The department and all the lecture halls have AC installed and a projector for teaching. The Wi-Fi speed is also quite good. Hostel rooms are also decent, and the mess food is also good, it has a variety of food options to eat from. In the first year, you get shared rooms, but after 1st year, you get single rooms. The hostels have a good vibe with 2 canteens and multiple small playgrounds.

Very great opportunities, totally worth it and an IIT tag.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very impressive. We have everything, 24/7 open canteens, Wi-Fi everywhere. Each department has a separate area comprising many buildings, labs, spacious classrooms, and also a 4-floor vast library. Hostels are moderate to great depending on which one you are allotted, and mess food is great in quality but slightly bland sometimes.
